In Response to My last game as a Bruins fan : Holding on until after the Cup final is weak. The day the franchise in Winnepeg was announced, you should have declared it your last day as Bruins fan. I hope the JetsMoose are a terrible hockey team (just like the other Winnepeg team) and the B's continue to dominate hockey. Enjoy it, traitor. Turning your back on the team for the Atlanta Thrashers with a different address is nothing short of pitiful, no matter where you grew up. Beat it.Posted by Not-A-Shot

Thank God we have NAS to spell out for us the official protocol on this topic.

I've always been a Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals fan. Growing up in Boston, I've always been a Red Sox fan. But as a kid I liked Ozzie Smith a lot. So, I rooted for the Cards as well. An American League team and a National League team.

But when the two teams met in the '04 WS, it wasn't even an option whom I was rooting for: the Red Sox. They were my first true team.

So if the Bruins were your first "love" you stick with them. My advice? You root for the new Winnipeg team and the Bruins. A Western Conference team and an Eastern Conference team. When they meet in the regular season, or for the Cup, you have a decision to make. For me it was easy. Would it be for you?

don't know Jalvis (though I think my heart says Bruins). I'll find out next year since the Peg plays in the East next season and has to play the B's 4 times and possibly the playoffs (if the whatevers qualify)

Respect for stating your feelings of loyalty in this forum. Its obvious you are a Bruins fan, I'm sure you always be, but if you chose to place them at #2 then that's your business and no one elses.IMHO your postings tend to be thoughtful and insightful. Hope to still see you here next year at some point.

Red, I hope you enjoy your new team but continue to enlighten us with your thoughs on all thing Bruins. You say you will dedicate your soul to the new franchise but I suspect you will be 100% back..My cousin moved to Florida with thoughts of following the panthers...he still bleeds black n gold. It's hard to let go, especially with the Center Ice package.

Well, that's not entirely true - I'll always be a Bruins fan. But as I have stated here previously, now that I have the Jets or the Whatevers back, starting next season, the B's fall to second place. So this is the last game when the Bruins are my one and only team. Couldn't think of a better way to go out then watching them lift the Cup.Posted by red75

Sorry Red but you have to admit this thread is funny. Don't take it personal he's busting your..... not sure what on a women but you know what I mean.So you're going back to your roots .... enjoy the games. You were a good read. Cheers!

and Mr.Shot you're a real NAss . I get a chuckle everytime you go fishing and people bite.

Wow! I didn't realize that Peg was gonna be in the East. Interesting. That does make it a little harder. Good luck!!!!

In Response to Re: My last game as a Bruins fan : Dang, Tom. That's a bit harsh. I've spent a lot of time here and in life standing up, supporting, donating to and helping those in the same profession as you, and in return, I'm a donkey? That's too bad.Posted by Not-A-Shot

donkey??? donkey??? what makes you think ANYBODY should address YOU with a term as kind as that???

So why is Red leaving the Bruins?? Because of you! You make Marchand look like a lady Bing trophy winner.

You write like a combination of Lapierre, Ulf and Avery and turn people right away from this board, and Red is only the last example of that.

In Response to Re: My last game as a Bruins fan : Polygamy!!! Awesome!!! Wait, you mean as in supporting 2 hockey teams at the same time?? You really are a sadist, aren't you? Go ahead and rip my heart out and trample it again. Now I'm past the grief stage and moving into the anger stage. I'm going to go find a NAS post and slam that Marchand wannabe.Posted by BadHabitude

No, I was talking about actual polygamy... unfortunately you still have the wrong pair of chromosomes.

Well, that's not entirely true - I'll always be a Bruins fan. But as I have stated here previously, now that I have the Jets or the Whatevers back, starting next season, the B's fall to second place.

Hope your last game ends with a win!and hope you stay on the board you have great takes.
